Pooper scooper factory relocates to Chihuahua

(Bisbee AZ) One of the region’s mainstay industries has moved its operation to Mexico leaving hundreds unemployed and the housing market jolted. Pete’s Pooper Products, maker of the popular Pete’s Pooper Scooper, opened for business this morning on a dusty back street in El Carrizo, about 200 miles south of Ciudad Juarez. Pete’s is the fifth small scale industry to relocate in the past year.

The decision to move was based on growing restrictions in the United States as well as the potential for higher profits. Already Pooper Scooper’s market value has jumped some 125 points on the stock exchange here on Brewery Gulch.

“Pete’s is an international corporation with loyalties to no nation or people,” said Pete Pecker, CEO of the firm. “Why should we deal with unions and the feds when we can move to Mexico and lowball workers there without all the paperwork?”

In addition to manufacturing lightweight, high caliber pooper scoopers, the facility will make an assortment of accessories used by many municipalities up north.

“People think of us as only producing the scoopers,” said Pecker, “but we also make paper removal products, print training manuals, and churn out parts such as replacement handles and the baskets themselves. When it comes to pooper devices and support products we’re big…Perhaps the biggest in the Western Hemisphere.”

Pecker said he plans to hire 200 more workers than he employed in Arizona.

Supporters of the flow of jobs to Mexico say new industries there will offer many Mexican citizens a chance to avoid the poverty that has been all too present since the arrival of Cortez.

“Besides, said one of Pecker’s associates, “Nobody up in Los Estados Unidos seems willing to do much besides sit at their computers or play the market anyway. Just imagine a world without pooper scoopers.”

Critics of the trend say the US cannot afford to lose jobs to Latin America and that the termination of manufacturing in this country will lead to a further demise of the blue collar culture.
